 * Reason: High quality, high EV. First year of issue of the Japanese yen. Twenty yen in gold was the highest denomination struck. On average, the 20 yen gold coin weighs 33.33 grams, is 0.900 pure, and weighs 0.96 of an ounce. (The present layout appears customary).

 * Comment - Is it just me, or is there an artefact surrounding the coins? — Crisco 1492 (talk) 08:06, 19 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Not quite sure I understand, could you elaborate?--Godot13 (talk) 17:30, 19 April 2015 (UTC)
 * There appear to be faint, light gray circles around both coins. Maybe a pixel thick, if that. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 15:38, 20 April 2015 (UTC)
 * I'll tweak it in a few hours when I'm home...--Godot13 (talk) 20:14, 20 April 2015 (UTC)
